Do people in your church argue about whether lifting your hands in worship is too demonstrative or too Charismatic?
"I desire that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands WITHOUT ARGUMENT (1 Timothy 2:8)."
Do you lift up your hands when you pray just as Paul wants you to do?
Do you recognize the biblical principle that lifting your hands in prayer can release your inhibitions and deepen your longing for God?
"I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land (Psalm 143:6).
To incite more passionate worship, does your church encourage people to clap for joy and SHOUT praises to God?
"Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with loud songs of joy. For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome (Psalm 47:1-2)."
How does your church justify ignoring biblical precedent in its preference for more subdued and inhibited worship?
